Breaks me out

1

I have been using dermalogica products for years and this is the only product that break me out. First I thought the full dropper is too strong, so I started mixing couple drops with skin smoothing cream but I'm still breaking out. Now that I stopped use it for a month, my face is back to normal. I'm too scared to try it again.

I have mature (age 41), dry skin. This product works while I sleep and I wake up with luscious, glowing, supple skin. The scent is light and natural. Love this and it's now a standard in my arsenal.

Made me break out

2

I wanted to love this so much. I waited for the release and bought it right away. At first when I broke out I thought it may be something else. I tried stopping other Dermalogica products but it continues. I tried taking a break from the biolumin C and my skin cleared up. I started using it again and broke out. I tried this several times before I had to admit that it was in fact this product. I am 42 with combo skin but rarely get cystic acne if any pimples at all, and I wanted to love this. I'm super bummed!

Not sure if it's worth it

3

This product smells amazing! I purchased the full bottle and used it twice a day morning and night. I don't think it was worth the money. As a die hard long term Dermalogica user I was thrilled when this product came out. It didn't wow me like I had hoped. It's also pretty pricy. The dropper concept is nice. I liked being able to drip the product directly onto my face. I just wish it had given me the results I had hoped for. It was a miss for me. I prefer the Multivitamin Power Serum Or the Phyto Replenish Oil. (Cheaper and gave me results!)

Creates Skin Envy

5

I was a bit dismayed when the MAP-15 Regenerator product was no longer offered. I'd used it successfully for over 10 years and felt that because of my skin's sensitivity, I wouldn't be able to use a serum. In this instance, I am very happy to be wrong. I've been using the biolumin-c serum for over two months now, twice a day. I add a few drops to my morning moisturizer (dynamic skin recovery) underneath the hydrablur primer and find it keeps my skin much more hydrated throughout the day. I use it again at bedtime, sometimes adding an extra drop to the skin around the eye and mouth areas, depending on how long my day was. I've had more than one person say they have skin envy with regards to my complexion. My face is clearer, brighter, more luminous and moisturized. Plus, it really holds moisture better now, so my skin remains unfaded into the evening. I'll be celebrating my 50th birthday in a month and am glad to be heading into the next decade with a product which supports my skin's changing needs. Thank you Dermalogica.

So many compliments on my skin after using this

5

I was given a sample of this product by my Dermalogica consultant and ended up buying a bottle - on my second bottle now!
It made such a big difference to my skin. I use it day and night, underneath my moisturiser (Dermalogica intensive moisture balance at night and Dermalogica Sensitive Tint during the day). My skin is a lot brighter, fine lines are less noticeable. I've received a lot of compliments on my skin after I started using this product!
When I apply it makes my skin tingle a little bit (I've got sensitive skin) but after 10 minutes that's gone and it looks amazing. It's expensive but worth the money!

I'm on my second bottle of this now, can't survive without it! Leaves my skin looking healthy firm gorgeous! The service from Dermalogica is unsurpassable they say it will be delivered tomorrow and it is, simply the best.

Still undecided

Product has a sticky feel to it once it dries on my skin. When I wear it at night it kind of sticks to my pillow case. I'm not sure it's even penetrating; it may just be sitting on top. It does have a glowy effect though.

My new favourite!

5

I have been using this for about a month and a half now on a daily basis. My skin has improved noticeably; definitely brighter, more luminous, my fine lines seem to be less visible and overall it looks clearer and fresher. This serum is lightweight but still delivers moisture-I have combo skin and in summer can get oily so with this I don't really need a moisturizer except on dryer areas. I love this product line in general but this is one of the better new products I've tried. Cost is reasonable and it seems to last well. Definitely a solid product. Only thing is the bottle is opaque and quite heavy so hard to tell how much you have left; any chance the packaging could be less dense Dermalogica?

Hi , can I apply ultracalming serum concentrate before applying Biolumin-C? Does it affect Biolumin's absorption? I want to have a layer of protection for my skin in case I'm allegic to Biolumin C . Patch test doesn't really work for me.

Zenn

2018-10-21

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica! We do not recommend layering the serum like that Biolumin_C Serum would be applied first. You can do a patch test to see if you can use Biolumin-C Serum.
Thank you,
The Dermalogica Team

In QA sections you have suggested using Biolumin C serum over MAP-15 regenerator. However Biolumim C has 4.7% vitiman c and MAP-15 has 10%. Based on this wouldn't MAP 15 yield better results? When would you recommend one over the other?

Jena

2018-10-20

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica! Products are layered according to their weight and delivery system. MAP-15 should be applied first and then Biolumin-C Serum layered next.

Can I use biolumin C serum on my eyes ?

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica! Biolumin-C Serum can be applied up to the orbital bone. Be careful not to get this serum into your lash line or in the crease of your eyelid.

Just received my Biolumin-c serum. How much product should you use each application? I used an entire dropper full and it seemed to be too much product. It left my skin too shiny and tacky.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. For best results, mist Antioxidant Hydramist all over. Use one dropper of BioLumin C Serum on the face, neck and chest. Follow with a moisturizer.

Can you use Biolumin-C serum with skin resurfacing cleanser? If so, how often (1 or 2 times daily) and which moisturizer do you recommend with these two products?

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. It is at your discretion depending on what your skin can tolerate. I advise a patch test to be sure.

Hello,
I use multivitamin power serum + Dynamic skin recovery spf 50 at the morning and overnight repair serum + overnight retinol repair at night.
I see some other products that maybe can be suitable for me but I am not sure whether I should try them or rather stick with the products that I use.
More specifically:
Should I try to replace overnight repair serum with BioLumin C-serum? What is the difference between them?
Should I try to replace Dynamic skin recovery spf 50 with Super rich repair? What is the difference between them?
Should I try to replace overnight retinol repair with overnight retinol repair 1%? What is the difference?
I am 40 years old, my skin is rather good and not too dry.
I have few light pigmentation stains on my face which would like to lighten.
And of course I would like to smooth the skin and the fine lines.
What is the best combination that you would recommend for morning and for night?
Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Yes, due to the Lactic Acid. It helps cell turn over, which can prevent clogs in the pores.

Hello,
I'm a new Dermalogica user since a week ago. The specialist I went to see recommended, for my dehydrated skin, the
Essential Cleanser, Mutiactive Toner, Hydrating Booster and then the Water Gel mixed with Intensive Moisture Balance.
So my question is - where can I fit in this product? Should I take away the booster in place of this one?

Lynn

2018-09-09

Hello,
You can use Skin Hydrating Booster in the morning and Bio Lumin C Serum at night. Be sure to use SPF during the day.
Thanks
